>its canonically an evolution>its actually not an evolution in game
>>59591493it would be too much of a CHARIZARD counter if carbink could actually evolve please understand
mega diancie would've been a form change if diancie debuted any other gen
>Eviolite Carbink
>>59591493They should make an evolutionary item that is event exclusiveI know that's easier to hack but people hack mythicals anyway
>>59591493used/movesearch Carbink, !Diancieon smogon and gotMatching moves found in learnset(s) for Carbink, !Diancie:Double-Edge, Heavy Slam, Iron Head, Misty Terrain, Rock Blast, Stomping TantrumThey really forgot to give Diancie all moves Carbink can learn.
>>59591493it's like blood moon ursaluna except it's a different pokemon. is it that hard to understand?
>>59591572Yes that would be the best. An item to turn a Carbink into a Diancie but it's only one per playthrough or something. I had a Carbink I used in an XY playthrough once and it was ass but it would've nice to have a Diancie.>>59591602Game Freak has always done Diancie dirty with moves, it couldn't even learn Power Gem in Gen 6 (as crazy as that sounds) and couldn't learn Play Rough until TR in Gen 8, although to be fair Carbink has never been able to learn it and I guess it's the only non-Z Move, non-Max Move/non-G-Max Move, non-signature physical Fairy move.
>>59591493They want to hide this because the canonically method to make Carbink evolve is to cum 100 times on it
>>59591554Eviolite Carbink would go hard as fuck. I want to see it tear up OU
>>59591554wouldn't that just be Shuckle's stat distribution?
>>59591493Not the first time. I just wonder if we will ever get Genesect's fossilized form.
>>59591923Phione and Manaphy are a different situation. The slug they are based on only reaches max size in the arctic circle, so the implication off of this and their dex entries is that anywhere warmer results in Phione being born rather than Manaphy.The teraleak also outright stated this point; they're closer to "regionals" of the same species, with Manaphy only born in the absolute coldest seas.
>>59591493>Tinkatink, Gothita, Ralts, Hattena, Vullaby, and Buneary are canonically babies>They aren't babies in game
>>59591940Yeah, but then why bother making one with so fewer stats than the other? Just poor design/gameplay decisions.
>>59591923ngl phione is cuter.
>>59591493Just like Slowbro and Slowking.Would be neat if Carbink could evolve into a false Diance. Similar to how Manaphy can breed a false version of itself.
>>59591493>pokemon w/ high defensive stats but shit HPwhy is this so common?
>>59591923we already have kabutops
mutation /= evolution though.
>>59591988Nah we know its a bug type, not a water type.
>>59591952Because Manaphy came from an egg, so they wanted to reward kids for being curious and trying to breed it without compromising the rarity of a mythical.
>>59592010It also had a cannon. Early translations screwed up and said Team Plasma added a cannon when they actually enhanced an existing cannon.
>>59591959Since Diancie is the princess and Carbink are her servants, they could have Carbink that evolve into knights that protect her.>>59591952Because it's a mythical that you can make lots of and send to your friends and on people on the GTS who didn't beat Ranger/get an event.
>>59591493Because it's not a true evolution, it's a mutation. It was a Carbink when it was growing (let's say a womb), but something change, causing it to become a Diancie instead.
>>59592043It would be really clever to play on the Fiance/Diamond ring aspect, so you could do a fake diamond, zirconium, make her a secret muse rather than the real fiance.You could make it a literal glass canon, dropping the high def of a diamond for a more sharp/pointed/glass/bitch gonna cut you angle.The mega could be a "who's that lady in black at the funeral".
>>59591493WEll it wouldn't be spontaneus if it could be triggered.
>>59591493>transformation>transformation>mutationNext you're going to say more stupid shit like formes being evolutions.
>>59592036Nipponese or it didn't happen.
>>59592132Don't blame me for what the game says is canon mutations.
>>59592339The literal japanese dex entries are the source.
>>59591493Carbink should have just been Phione 2.0, only obtainable by breeding Diancie with a Ditto
>>59591493It's such an insanely rare evolution that nobody knows how to pull off that they just classify them as different pokemon.There. Done.you poketards don't even think very hard about your own fuckin lore. This is why Digimon is better.
